it's not violence
Smacking someone is violence
Go and smack someone on the street and see what the police say that you have done
words are violence too i guess
No
yes it is
i think we've established that you'd make a terrible parent and raise a selfish, petulant monster too
Only physical contact with the intent to cause harm
there is no intent to cause harm
<:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>
Smacking as a parental technique fulfils that
violence is physical harm, I don't think violence in it's broadest sense is inherently wrong, though
there's so much wrong here
You are intending to cause harm as a deterrent to a particular action
no
yeah im going to fuck off and play some more tomb raider
this conversation is groundhogging
if you've ever smacked a child, it's not a hard action
It is still physical harm
you don't hit the child to cause pain
It may be more minor then the cane or beatings but it is still using pain as a deterrent
That is simply morally wrong
ok, so when i touch you, is it painful?
when i tap you, is that painful?
A smack isn't just a touch though
Have i got to go into official definitions here of what a smack is?
Problem is, even a tap under Scotland's new law could be a criminal act
it's not our fault your parents beat you until you bled
Just no
so you have no idea what a reasonable smack is
🤷
I wasn't beaten at all as a child
Which is why i agree with not doing it to others
problem solved
